Day 60 of "Be Quranic" explores Surat al-Baqarah, ayah 35, which narrates Allah instructing Adam and his wife to enjoy the pleasures of Jannah with the exception of approaching one forbidden tree.
This command reflects broader life lessons about the prevalence of halal (permissible) over haram (forbidden) things, emphasising that while many things are allowed, humans often gravitate towards the few restrictions.
The passage highlights the concept that everything is deemed halal unless explicitly stated otherwise, a principle meant to simplify religious observance.
It also underscores the belief that prohibitions exist for our own benefit, with alternatives that are either equal or better, encouraging trust in divine wisdom even when the reasons behind certain prohibitions are not immediately apparent.
